These Beliefs are Holding You Back From Success

Through our posts, and the articles that we usually share on our social media profiles, we often encourage our readers to understand that with just a small change of attitude, including our thoughts and inner dialogue, most aspects of our life can be simplified to a point where we can save ourselves a lot of headaches.

When it comes to success, negative self-talk is unrealistic, unnecessary, and self-defeating. It sends you into a downward emotional spiral that is difficult to pull out of.

Slightly change your thoughts and you will begin to see a huge difference. This is what you should know:

Toxic Belief #1: Perfection = Success

When perfection is your goal, you’re always left with a nagging sense of failure, and you end up spending your time lamenting what you failed to accomplish

Toxic Belief #2: My Destiny is Predetermined

Your destiny is in your own hands, and blaming multiple successes or failures on forces beyond your control is nothing more than a cop out.

Toxic Belief #3: I “Always” or “Never” Do That

You may do something a lot or not do something enough, but framing your behavior in terms of “always” or “never” is a form of self-pity.

Toxic Belief #4: I Succeed When Others Approve of Me

No matter what people think about you, your self-worth comes only from within.

Toxic Belief #5: My Past = My Future

Remember that success lies in your ability to rise in the face of failure. Anything worth achieving is going to require you to take some risks, and you can’t allow failure to stop you from believing in your ability to succeed.

Toxic Belief #6: My Emotions = Reality

If you allow your emotions to skew your sense of reality, you become vulnerable to the negative self-talk and you will end up holding back from achieving your full potential.
